Re: [docbook-apps] XInclude and Graphics

Hi Bob,

thanks a lot for you filing the bug on libxml2. I'm glad you are 
handling this for me.

Concerning Xalan, does this behavior depend on Xerces directly or on 
resolver.jar? If I'm not completely wrong, resolver.jar was initiated by 
Norman Walsh?

Thanks,
Georges
